Chamber Singers, Concert Choir Welcome Spring

From Connie Lester, Redfern: The KSC Chamber Singers and the KSC Concert Choir will perform their spring concert on Fri., Apr. 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Alumni Recital Hall of the Redfern Arts Center.

The Chamber Singers welcome spring with an English Renaissance madrigal, “As Vesta Was Descending,” by Thomas Weelkes; “A Tent of Peace,” by Chamber Singer conductor and KSC faculty member Elaine Ginsberg; and a very playful rendition of the children’s song, “Row Your Boat,” by Eric Troyer. Keene State College artist-in-residence George Loring will accompany the singers.

The Concert Choir, conducted by Diane Cushing, will perform songs with peace as a common theme. They will be joined by the Nashua Symphony Chorus for several pieces, bringing the number of singers on stage to nearly 100. “The Rose, the Briar, and the Bicycle,” by Gwyneth Walker, and “The Sirens,” by KSC music faculty member Tim Rogers, will also be performed. Rogers will accompany the chorus during his piece.
